Inca 1972

"Inca" is an abstract painting by American artist Alexander Calder, created in 1972. The artwork is characterized by a bold use of color and geometric shapes, a hallmark of Calder’s artistic style. The central focus is a red circle, almost a sun, resting upon a vibrant orange plane. Its rays are a dynamic burst of black lines and form against a white background, while bold vertical stripes of yellow, red, and blue extend off the canvas. Calder is best known for his mobiles, but he also produced a large body of paintings, sculptures, and prints, embracing abstract forms and bold colors.
